Last Saturday evening the Lew john
son Colored Company drew good house
despite the most severe rain storm
known here for years, and they merited
the delight by all who were present
which was manifested by frequent and
most enthusiastic applause. For origin
al Negro melodies and genuine planta-
ton specialities they are the best ever
seen in Ogden. They received a
special request from a number of citi-
zens to repeat the entertainment, which
they did by rendering concert Sunday
evening, in strict accordance with the
Sabbath by appropriate sacred hymns.
We wish them success, wherever they
go, and we congratulate Mr.. Lew john
son, the gentlemanly manager, who de-
serves special praise in selecting his
talented corps of colored artists. w. ID.
Lee, the general business agent, repre-
SCENTS the above company in very GEN

Curiosities of Paris Law.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

A little book has been published recently
which gives the public some insight into the
functions and power of the Project of Paris.
No one is allowed to stick a note on door or
window asking for an emplye, or post a bill
on a boarding unless it be stamped and
taxed. Advertisers may adopt any color
they please except white, which signifies
purity, and is exclusively reserved for Off
cial announcements. Special permission is
required to give an assault-at-arms, but moth
ing is said about permission to fight a duel
If any one comes TO Paris with the idea that
he can start business right off as rag picker
he is mistaken. He will be run in if found
gathering rags without a license. No re-
union or meeting for political or religious oh
jectS can meet without the consent of the
Project and under whatever conditions he
pleaseS. In order to hold meeting on
non-political subject seven persons con-
nected with it must make declaration at
the Prefecture three clear days before the
day of meeting. Special permission is re-
quired to give balls andconcerts and to per
form feats Of agility in music halls. Owing to
the exigencies of the octroi cattle and live
stock are only allowed to enter Paris at GER
tain hours OF the day and by certain routes.
Merchants of bric-a-brac must be supplied
with brass medals and licensed. Dogs are
made the subject OF series of regulations.

places Inside houses these dogs must al
ways be kept in a surfing or muzzle" Com
missionaries must make a declaration and
get a medal and ijUret before starting bust
ness. COMMISSIONERS are shoeblacks No
organ grinder, street musician, or itinerant
merchant can exercise his profession without
permission from the Project. No pelms-
sion is granted unless the applicant
has resided at least a year within
the jurisdiction Of the Project and is French
The street musicians, however, some
times play without permission. Should a
concierge be in a particularly amiable turn
he will allow an Italian to play within his
gates. where he is a. absolute as the Project.
The Project supplies worAmen with livrets,
without which they are not worth anything.
Porters at the public markets must have
certificate Of good conduct from the police.

and finally descriptive composition were
all taught Not only could some of the
methods employed in the deaf muto
schools be proftably adopted by other
teachers, but practice in all the schools
in the language of signs would, perhaps,
be more beneficial than some of the
studies taught. No one can gain any
idea of how expressive these signs arc,
or how wildly they convey an idea,
without visiting one of the deaf mute
schools. So expressive are some of them
that the thought contained is flashed
upon the minds cycu of those who have
neger seen them before. The deaf mute

does not hear word, he can detect what

two will illustrate the principle ON which
the language of signs is based.
Take the sentence "a cat catches a
mouse" "A, of course, is letter of
the alphabet, and is represented by an
arbitrary sign. holding the hand in a
certain position Cat is suggested by
putting the finger and thumb of each
hand together and making motion at
the upper lip which suggests whiskers.
For mouse" the back of the hand is
placed against the nose and the fore
finger wiggled. Why this suggests
mouse it would be hard to tell, but when
a person has once seen the gesture prop

over my nose and mouth, with in
structions to breathe deeply two or

the compound is placed, and an oval
India rubber mask, very pliable and
flexible, projecting from it, with a tap
